Question & Answer
Question
WebSEAL request.log of IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) shows Load Balancer IP as client IP. How can the request.log show the originating client IP?
Answer
The 'request-log-format' parameter in the WebSEAL configuration file can be used to customize the request.log.
Content from headers can be used in the form of '%{header-name}i'.
In a load-balancer enviroment the header 'X-Forwarded-For' header is used to identify the originating client IP address.
Something like this can be used to include the client IP:
request-log-format = %h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b %{x-forwarded-for}i
